It's hard to see when they're in place but from the installations I've watched, the bead smashes to about 3/4" wide. So for a ~100" circumference, about 80 sq in. (The cross-sectional area of a steel clamp is tiny in comparison.) For a wind loading of a couple hundred pounds, that's a safety factor of over 100, which is certainly defensible in court.1000 pounds per square inch, and hove many square inches of glue?
